ok i give up! im chaulkin it up Kessel,s a goner......lets go knock on the canucks door & try to pry Elder from themPosted by pucman

it'd be better than kaberle,and a more fair deal too!We'd be giving up a 21 year old for a 23 year old!Makes a ton more sense to me than givin' kessel to the leafs because kaberle is 10 years older than kessel!that's a huge difference right there and plus i saw that kaberle already has had a concussion in his career already?!what would we be getting in a trade like that huh?!The defenceman version of bergeron?we got one guy who's already had a concussion(bergy)we don't need a second.this trade makes more sense than half of everyone's idiotic posts!lol.

Kesler would be nice, Axlesson's penalty killing skills with Kessel's speed. He'd be a good 2nd line winger or great 3rd line center, maybe he frees up some space to give Bergeron more ice time, and show that he can be back to full form if he's given a good line. If we're dealing for defenseman though as much as some people may object I like the upside of Jack Johnson. Some say he has some problems, whether it's on ice or off ice, well the Bruins are the team that can fix it. Julien is an excellent teaching coach, just something a developing defenseman needs. As for any locker room problems the team can handle it.I'd prefer a prospect with Johnson should they ever view that idea but a mid to high pick wouldn't be bad either.Just a thought though, I haven't seen much on Elder to know his upside or anything.

After looking at Edler's stats it would be nice for the Bruins to get him, but we also have to consider would Vancouver actually consider moving him. They have a decent offense with a few prospects waiting in the wings. Players like Mason Raymond and Cody Hodgson will keep their forward core talented for years. Also consider that they lost Mattias Ohlund, a linchpin in their defense over the last decade. They may not be willing to make the defense for forward sacrafice, even for a player like Kessel.

Um, we already have 6 Nhl-caliber defensemen, with AHL Top Defenseman Boychuk in a #7 role and a young Shane Hnidy replacement in Adam McQuaid. If we get another D, we're paying someone to enjoy hotdogs in the pressbox.
